One of my favorite finds ever!.........

[Mike from MI]

A couple years back at a CW hunt, I found a beautiful US belt plate. This was dug right out of a soldiers hut in VA. It made my year as I had always hoped to find one. This one has all the attachments on the back as well.

Also thought I would share with you the newest member of our family. Bella is a 10 week old AKC Chocolate Lab.

I'd like to find a similar buckle myself but being on the left coast it's not likely.

Mike:
The belt plate would be a banner find for even the most experienced detetortist. It looks like a real trophy of a lifetime. That new pup is a beautiful dog as well. He will keep you busy for a while.
